IMO A ....Since the principle has been already enforced and is in effect till today.
Although the Supreme Court ruled as long ago as 1880 that Blacks could not be excluded outright from jury service, nearly a century of case-by-case adjudication has been necessary to develop and enforce the principle that all juries must be drawn from “a fair cross section of the community.”

@madhur..i m a bit confused can u please explain me the reasoning behind ur answer
Although principal has been enforced and is in effect till date but case-by-case adjudication was necesary at that time so .............how come the answer not B..
B has a falw of using being.if we leave that can B be the answer..........please explain......

I hope this helps.Although the Supreme Court ruled as long ago as 1880 that Blacks could not be excluded outright from jury service, nearly a century of case-by-case adjudication has been necessary to develop and enforce the principle that all juries must be drawn from "a fair cross section of the community."
(A) has been necessary to develop and enforce the principle that all juries must be
[Event which started in the past and is still in progress, HAS been is correct construction]
(B) was necessary for developing and enforcing the principle of all juries being
[Being is almost always wrong, also, WAS indicates that even has concluded in the past]
(C) was to be necessary in developing and enforcing the principle of all juries to be
[Same as above]
(D) is necessary to develop and enforce the principle that all juries must be
[IS necessary, implies that the adjudication should happen in the future, it's a recommendation - Eliminate]
(E) will be necessary for developing and enforcing the principle of all juries being
[again future tense used - Eliminate]
Is caught between a rock and a hard place!
THanks vivek1110

My pick is A.
B and E are wrong - 'being' (almost and always wrong)
C is wrong for awkward and wrong construction was to be
Now between A and D, A wins. It is ongoing action so A fits the bill.
